Trump announced the destruction of nine ships and the headquarters of the Iranian Navy.

On March 1, US President Donald Trump announced that the US military had sunk nine ships of the Iranian Navy and destroyed their headquarters.

"I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk nine Iranian warships, some of which were relatively large and important. We're chasing the others—they'll be at the bottom of the sea soon, too! In another attack, we destroyed their naval headquarters. Otherwise, their naval forces are very successful," the American leader wrote on the Truth Social network.

Earlier, Trump said that the military operation against Iran was "ahead of schedule." He also accused Iran of alleged brutality, assuring that the US and Israeli military operation is going "very well." The end of the conflict, according to him, depends on many factors.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military operation in Iran. Trump called her goal "protecting the American people." Israel and the United States have carried out numerous attacks on military and civilian targets in Iran, including a school in the city of Minab.

In response, Iran launched Operation True Promise 4 and attacked American military bases in the Middle East, as well as Israeli cities. The UAE, Bahrain, Iraq, Oman and other Persian Gulf countries were affected by the Iranian attacks.
